I can only point you to dennyg, who has an older, out-of-published guide book. It has many climbs that your does not.

Good luck!

How did you like the Cereal Buttress? Did you do both pitches of Fruit Loops? I thought that chimney was fun!

OKay...If you are looking at Bear Hunt and you have both your hands in that pocket that is chest high. That's Bear Hunt, just making sure we are starting at the same point.

The climb to the left is a bolted climb, should be 7 bolts. Closest thing to sport at the Bald. Sorry but, no name. It has been chopped a few times and put back each time.

At the top for Bear Hunt and the Un-named climb there are 2 routes that start more or less around the same area.
The one more to the right that goes over a bulge and clips a bolt is The Gift Certificate and longish. It has some bolts can't remember how many.
There is another to the left of that one, called The Gift 5.7. I think 4 bolts maybe 100 feet.

Sometimes people get the un-named route and Bear Hunt confussed.

I wonder if the older Kelley guidebook is more clear on this area . . . I'll see if I can find anyone with a copy.

Of the routes above the belay tree, the closer one is gift certificate. The gift starts further left. Both end up at the same place.

We were up there today and were discussing this very issue with several other groups. Bear Hunt is definitely the route to the right with only 2 bolts at top. The Shuyler Selected Climbs guide shows The Gift & The Gift Certicficate way farther to the left than they actually are. They are both almost directly above Bear Hunt/Unknown routes.

If no one knows who put this "unknown" route up to the left of Bear Hunt, I motion that the CCC and our fellow NC climbers give it a name to help alleviate all the confusion.

I don't know the bald well but I think you are talking about the five bolt 5.5 or so that was put up around a year ago and had one bolt and an extra anchor chopped. This was discussed at great length, I believe, on the ccc website. The person who put it up or at least bolted it was on that site talking about it.

Sorry, but you're totally mixed up here. The new route you're talking about was in the Test Pilots area. The mystery route that's the subject of this message thread is in the Flakeview area; has been there for almost three years that I know of (see the date of my initial post); and is most assuredly not a 5.5 route.

I was up at the Bachar slideshow last night in Brevard and talked to Sean about this issue. He agreed with the whole confussion thing and said "Hey, if no one is stepping up to claim it, call it what ever y'all want to"
